Original Prompt

ELA.Literacy.RI.3.8

This resource focuses on enhancing students' reading comprehension by teaching them how to identify and articulate the connections between sentences and paragraphs in a text. The learning goal is for students to describe how ideas relate to one another through logical connections such as comparison, cause/effect, and sequence. The document outlines success criteria, including the ability to define and identify 'signal words' which indicate these relationships. It includes a guide to different connection types with examples of signal words, practical exercises for guided and independent practice, and prompts for partner discussions. Ultimately, the overarching aim is to enable students to engage more deeply with texts by recognizing the logical pathways that authors create, thereby improving their understanding and retention of the material.
